The Texas Film Commission has been assisting filmmakers and promoting Texas for more than 35 years. With its beautiful, diverse locations and its experienced crew bases, Texas has remained a competitive destination for hundreds of film and television productions. In addition to film, we have begun supporting the Texas video game community and raising its visibility as a viable market. The Film Commission is working to increase Texas's competitive position among all media industries in the state.
